Some Interesting Facts Not Gener-

1t was reported by telegraph the other
DAY that Mr.. Parkes, farmer at Kings
TON, in Kentucky, had succeeded in train
ing seven large monkeys or apes to work
IN his hemp fields and to break and pre-
pare the hemp for market. MIR. Parkes,
according to the dispatch, has found that

Whether this particular story be- true
Or not, there is no doubt that the more
soclle and intelligent of apes have been
Instructed to perform work very like that

This monkey took it's meals like a WELL
bred person, ate with a spoon and fork,
used plate, and served itself with wine.
In one OF her letters from the Malay Pen
insula Miss Bird describes dinner to
which she was invited and at
which her companions were Two apes.

pineapple, eggs and bananas on porce-
lam, and so had l." writes the enterpris.
ing lady, who speaks OF another ape,
which was an important member OF the
family OF the British Resident at klaug,
as walking on it's hind legs and going
along quietly by her side like human es
cOrt. 1t had not even aradimentary tail,
and when it sat with its arms folded it
looked like "a gentlemanly person in a
close-htting suit"
The worst defect of monkeys is that
they are inveterate thieves. They look
upon stealing as fun, and therefore will
p1lfer even when they have no desire for
what they take. Nine. Roger tells us that
"they are capable OF sscking house and
carrying of everything movable in it
with the system and concert Of a band of
robbers. They observe a kind of dsci-
pine IN their operations, and post their
scouts to inform them in season when it
is time to run. away" The monkeys in
Sumatra, according to Cesare Moreno, steal
Hults ana vegetables from gardens, ana
Will plumber houses. "Forming line, In
order to pass their spoils from hand to
hand, they scale the walls, enter at the
doors or windows, and leisurely pillage
all they can find" They are also very
greedy, and will get tipsy when they
have the chance, and a drunken ape
seems more like man than ever.
If, therefore, Nine. Rogers prediction
is verified that the time lie coming when
apes will be added to the industrial force.
1t will probably become necessary to
increase our police protection, unless
pious education shall succeed 10

monkey.

are many so-cslled slight affections which
men think 1t brave not to notice. 1t is
not bravery; 1t is folly. As Bacon says,

HEALTH, PEACE AND Pies.
RERlTY.

Memphis, with $1,000 people, has q
death rate Of only 1913 per 1000 souls.
How valuable sanitation has been can
easily be learned by contrasting these
figures with the awful death rate OF
from thirty.6ve to forty per 1000 that
prevailed when six thousand privy
vaults were sending out their exbala.
tions to poison the air, vitiate the
blood OF those who breathed it and in
vite declmsting diseases. Yet there
were many who loved the privy
system and chung to 1t a.
precious legacy Of their ig'
norsnt, careless and Indifferent
ancestors. But this ancestral pride
was overcome by brave and persistent
men and the result Is Memphis Ia
healthy, is becoming wealthy and Ia
certainly wise in enlarsing the sewer
system. What . curss ignorance is
what q dreadful curse when 1t ct
tempts to ursurp the place Of intelli'
gence 10 prevent the health and
happiness Of mankind.
